$ go version:
go version go1.13.4 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

I symlink a folder to $GOPATH like so:

ln -sf "$HOME/codes/golang/foo"  "$GOPATH/src/channelmeter/foo"

I get this warning:

warning: ignoring symlink /Users/alex/go/src/channelmeter/foo

when I run this:

go test -coverprofile out.html all

but when I use go run it can handle the symlink.
So it seems like go test cannot handle the same symlinks that go run can.
